Chelsea manager Jose Mourinho has revealed that star player Eden Hazard made the substitution call himself in the 2-1 defeat to Leicester City on Monday.

The Belgian star injured his hip and had to leave the pitch following a tackle from Foxes striker Jamie Vardy in the first half before making a judgment call on his fitness.

"In 10 seconds [Hazard] made the decision himself," Mourinho told Sky Sports.

"[The injury] must be something important. His first reaction was 'I can't' and his second reaction was 'I want to try', then he goes on the pitch and he couldn't do it.

"In three different seconds he had different perspectives, so that's it. He's injured, definitely. In the game I don't know [how serious it is], but now I can have time to understand what the injury is."
